The 37s
i decided the truck featured in ST:Voyager episode 'The
37s' . unfortunately, no model of the 36 ford pickup is available, but
revell has a beautiful 37 ford pickup.
The episode has the crew of Voyager find this truck floating in
space, which leads them to a group of people that were kidnapped from
Earth in 1937.
The truck is presented in the episode as a dirty, maybe rusty old
vehicle, but they were kidnapped in 1937, so the truck probably should
have been brand new, but then again, they say it's been floating in
space for 300 years, so maybe the exposure to radiation caused the paint
to look flat? (i imagine the vacuum and -300 degrees would play havok with the cooling and brake systems).
it's
built box-stock, but i added acrylic weathering paints, which also took
the gloss off the paint (quite nicely). This kit went together
smoothly, and now i think i should have spent some time detailing the
flathead engine.
The base is a left-over, i painted it in voyager's colours... primer grey and galmet beige paint.
